[edit] Plot

Dhanush is a happy-go-lucky guy who plays carom in the streets, blows out a considerable amount of his middleclass father’s earnings and indulges in a hopeless romance with a stranger girl who he meets in the bus stop. When caught red-handed for stealing pittance from his father for booze with his friends, Dhanush questions his father’s responsibility towards his upbringing. The angry father gets touchy and parts with some of his dear savings to his son and asks him to get a life. Dhanush gets one, a bike instead. The bike takes over the movie from here - gets Dhanush a job, saves his life from a freak incident and gets lost, subjecting him to interminable anguish, when all hell breaks loose. The rest of the movie is spent searching for his bike.

That is not all yet. Dhanush’s sees himself at crossroads with underworld, courtesy a brutal murder from where his bike gets stolen. Although he wants to stay away, Dhanush invariably gets dragged into rubbing shoulders with the hooligans who now targets his family to seek revenge. Will Dhanush save his family and his bike from the assassins and reclaim his now-bloomed love is anybody’s guess.
